The fight is up to us- make your voice heard!
by Charles Coughlin
There’s something about Memorial Day that puts most Americans into a detached sort of trance. This is the first holiday in 2007 with good weather for many Americans and dreams of barbeques and camp outs seem to blot out everything else. Our incredibly crooked politicians realize how disinterested the average American is in politics at this time of year. It was no accident that George W. Bush and Ted Kennedy conspired together to try to ram through an amnesty for 20 million illegal aliens while Joe Sixpack was enjoying some warm weather and a three day weekend.
While the Immigration Bill did draw some (brief) intense opposition, there is every sign that pro-amnesty politicians are still hoping to push this bill through. An attempt to take the amnesty out of the Immigration Bill was defeated. We do NOT need immigration reform. We need immigration enforcement. These disingenuous politicians who pretend to be shocked at the “mess” that exists today in the form of 20 million illegals, never mention the fact that they have helped to undermine the Border Patrol at every turn. We would never have accumulated 20 million illegals if the Border Patrol weren’t deliberately underfunded and undermanned by the federal government. The federal government could literally crush any local authority who gave “sanctuary” to illegal aliens. The mayor of Los Angeles could be tossed in a federal prison for protecting illegal aliens and defying federal law if we had a president who opposed illegal immigration.Some politicians are even talking about transferring US Border Patrol Agents to the Iran-Iraq border. Excuse me!! The US government is supposed to safeguard the borders of the US, not the borders of some Third World nation, which we have occupied under false pretenses in violation of International Law.
We all need to snap out of any holiday-induced trance and begin calling our Congressmen to let them know how much we oppose an amnesty. If we don’t, Congress and George W. Bush will see this indifference as a sign of surrender on our parts. If you don’t believe this, here’s a little eye-opener for you: Senator Dianne Feinstein was targeted by the John and Ken radio show in Los Angeles. They asked her why she wasn’t opposing the Immigration Bill and why she was ignoring the will of the vast majority of the American people.
The response from Feinstein’s office was that she had only received 8,000 phone calls against the Immigration Bill and that she wouldn’t be concerned unless she got 30,000 phone calls against it.
There are two important things we should learn from this: (1).The first instinct of most politicians is to do exactly what we don’t want them to do, and (2).They will only refrain from selling us out if we scream at them in numbers too great to ignore.
All I can say is the fight is up to us. We need to e-mail our friends about this bill and tell them to call their Congressmen. We need to keep contacting our Congressmen every day. We should start calling up conservative talk show hosts about the Immigration Bill. If they won’t talk about it, we should ask them why?
